What power tools brand do you use in your country?

harbor freight.

>>214486840 (OP)
Cheapest shit I can find.

>>214486840 (OP)
Cheap shit from Sweden. It just works. Also I've heard good things about >>214487165

>>214486840 (OP)
HILTI master race

>>214486840 (OP)
I got a good deal on Ryobi bushwhacker, screwdriver, battery and the charger, so I guess thats what im going with whenever i need to collect new tools for that battery compatibility. I also have some Lidl specials >>214487165 and thus far im pretty satisfied, perfectly good for some smaller stuff.

>>214486840 (OP)
I don't use power tools. I use Sokkia geodetic tools

>>214486840 (OP)
idk, i am not 23+ yet

>>214487165
lol i saw this exact comercial at lidl one hour ago

>>214486840 (OP)
got suckered in to makita a few years ago.
used to be dewalt back in the day

>>214490749
Did you get tricked into buying a fake?

>>214491137
no

>>214486840 (OP)
I only buy Makita, so that I can use the same batteries for everything. I have a dozen electric tools by now.

I pay for people to fix and do things because I’m not a broke bitch

>>214491362
isnt that the norm by now?

>>214491210
Where was this product manufactured?
>China, USA, UK, Germany, Brazil, Romania, Thailand

>Makita, HiKOKI, Ryobi
Unlike in the past, they're no longer necessarily made in Japan.

>>214491641
i dont know, and i dont care enough to go check

my father gave me his old gdr-made smalcalda drill and i think that this thing will survive me

>>214492158
There is still some old "hand-powered" drill in my grandma's apartment. I bet it will survive a nuclear war.
(it's something similar to picrel)

>>214486840 (OP)
Hilti, Duss, Fein.

>>214491917
Then why do you still hold a grudge over something that happened years ago?

I have this cheap shit
not great, not terrible

>>214491551
...the only battery tool of another brand is an old chainsaw on a long pile by Stiga, but I hate that brand since every few years they change battery standards.

>>214492481
i.. dont?
you have misunderstood something

I got a Stanley Fat Max bundle cause it was dirt cheap

>>214492849
So how were you suckered?
By the way, there are also many counterfeit products like this.

>>214486840 (OP)
That one.

>>214493193
my dewalts were getting old, and used a outdated type of battery, and then i got some makita tools as a gift.
so not exactly suckered in to it, but

>>214493067
i had this idea of getting DeWalt, and relabeling everything to Stanley, so it doesn't get stolen. But I don't wanna go through that effort, and it probably won't work anyway. Just can't leave tools around i guess.

>>214493931
I thought Stanley power tools in the US were red and used the Craftsman brand anyways

>>214494150
Not that anon, but they're yellow/black and look like dewalt.

>>214487165
Based

>>214487970
I have a couple of tools from them, and so far they have kept working. For menial work they do their job.

>>214494225
Yeah but I thought you don't have the Fat Max power tool range in murrica, not that it matters, same chinese factory, different slave putting a different label on

>>214490724
Team parkside, 15% more expensive in Greece...

Just bought my first house a month ago so I have some DIY questions.

- What's the best way to hang up picture frames and artwork?
- My house is a ranch-style one with a single story. Is there a single best ladder to get? I need to be able to clean the gutters, so I was thinking a basic step ladder, but then in the future I might need access to the roof in general so maybe that's not best. I was looking at those telescoping ladders but saw a lot of worrying reviews for those where people said the locking mechanism failed while they were using the ladder and it made them fall.
- How far away from the house should the gutter downspout release the water?

>>214494879
Never cheap out on stuff that will injure you if it fails, get a decent multi purpose ladder from the hardware store that can lock into an A frame AND do pic related when you need to get onto the roof.

>>214495028
Is there a name for that type of ladder?

>>214495453
Industrial dual purpose ladder

A hammer and hand saw

>>214495635
When I google that most of the results look like they fold on a hinge. :/ When I looked at reviews for those i saw the same thing as the telescoping one, where the locking mechanism fails sending the user crashing to the ground.

>>214491137
>>214493193
So how do I tell if Makita is counterfeit? I don't speak Japanese

>>214486840 (OP)
I have a Lidl Parkside set of screwdrivers I bought 5-6 years ago for €25.
It's literally the main reason I have an income that isn't welfare. I've built 1-2 gaming PC's per day for 6 years with that little budget tool kit.

The gigachad's choice

>>214496027
Maybe if you're using them for everyday heavy-duty work, otherwise milwaukee is overkill.

>>214496083
>for everyday heavy-duty work
Milwaukee ain't what it used to be.

>>214496193
nothing is

Power tools?
Sorry, my dad and older brothers would be my ass if I used those.

>>214497009
>be
beat.
Sorry, drunk as shit, currently at wedding

>>214495778
They do fold on a hinge but only one way, it's physically impossible for them to collapse on you if they're sitting like >>214495028, mine has little locking tabs that swing into the top, I wouldn't trust shit like >>214495801. You gotta look through hardware sites instead of relying on garbage modern google results.

>>214486840 (OP)
i have that makita 21V impact driver on the right in your pic and an old 9V black&decker drill. used the impact part of the impact this year when building a deck for my grandma it was satisfying af and saved me lots of time, used to do that stuff (screwing boards together) with a weak ass drill which took forever.
>>214493193
i got the left one
>>214492232
is it geared? seems very useful if you want to create screw threads in something. still a pain in the ass if you gotta drill 20 holes quickly.
